The L Word is heading into its final season on Showtime but it might not be going away entirely. The premium cable network has shot a pilot, which will continue the Alice Pieszecki character played by Leisha Hailey. One of this season's plotlines will have her doing something that gets her sent to prison, where her story will continue if the pilot gets picked up. This might sound like Lesbian Women in Prison but Showtime President Robert Greenblatt said it will be more expansive. "There will be lesbian characters but there also will be straight women."

Alan and Kathi Glist have been pals with Kenneth and Sandra Greenblatt since the clothing business brought the men together in New York in the 1980s, when Glist owned the Alan Stuart apparel company and Greenblatt the Gilbert Frank textile firm. But on Thursday night at the Rose and Alfred Miniaci Center for the Performing Arts in Davie, the couples will be dressed to the nines for a reason that has nothing to do with the garment biz. They'll be beaming as they usher their new baby — "Motherhood: The Musical" — into the world.

An accident on westbound Interstate 595 in Davie left one man injured and snarled traffic near Hiatus Road for about an hour on Thursday morning.

Another driver, Michelle Lastella of Fort Lauderdale, received minor injuries but was not hospitalized, Florida Highway Patrol spokesman Jerry Donaldson said. Greenblatt's car was westbound on I-595 between Hiatus and Flamingo roads about 9:30 a.m. when he switched lanes into the path of a car driven by Lastella, police said.

Police investigating the murder of a massage therapist and former professional dancer have few clues to work with in finding out who gunned her down in her apartment in the middle of the day. Gwendel Greenblatt, 35, did not appear to have any enemies and did not report any trouble to friends or family prior to being shot Wednesday afternoon in the Mariner's Cove gated community in the 1600 block of Brandywine Boulevard, said West Palm Beach Police spokeswoman...

Police think the key to solving the killing of a hotel massage therapist last week could lie in three cigarette butts found discarded outside her apartment the day she was shot in the face by an unknown intruder. Whoever smoked those cigarettes -- found on an alarm box, the ground and a planter -- was standing near Gwendel Greenblatt's door for "a period of time," court records show. The spot also afforded the smoker a clear view of her parking spot in the Royal St. George apartment complex, records show.

West Palm Beach Police have released a wedding photo of Gwendel Greenblatt, fatally shot in her home while she talked to a friend on her cell phone, hoping it will open new leads in their search for her killer. Greenblatt, 35, was gunned down mid-day on Feb. 5. Police found the door unlocked at her Mariner's Cove apartment, in the 1600 block of Brandywine Boulevard, her body in the bathroom closet and a leash still attached to her dog. Her friend told police she heard Greenblatt scream, then the line went dead.
